In the morning I take 2 pills of pregabalin (lyrica): constituting 150 mg, along with 20 mg of amitriptyline and 12mg of metoprololol. Repeat dose in the evening. It helps reduce the ringing for about 5 hrs. after each dose.

@willows Thanks. Many years ago first visit to Neurologist for head rushes he gave me Amitriptyline... next morning I was very distressed plus the cotton mouth so didnt keep taking; then a few years ago I had my DNA done and right at top of list it says under "Major gene-drug interaction" 5 drugs under Psychiatry and first one is Amitriptyline... so my body was not wrong those years ago... but I dont see Pregabalin/lyrica in the report - wish it was on a usb stick so I could search on internet. Metoprolol is on the list as "moderate gene-drug interaction under Cardiovascular?
I really dont understand all of this report except it says I am TPMT genotype with DPYD but no one followed up on the Report and it sits here gathering dust!
Tinnitus is almost 24/7 now with pain and a bit of tmj no doubt... and in itself used to be able to cope with but with other medical issues and old age it's changed my life as I knew it. 🙁
